The UN has warned 2016 could be the deadliest for migrants making the journey.

I mean, it's been the worst for just about everything else too

My dad suffered total heart failure and had to wait in the hospital for four months before a heart was available for him. Now he has a bad infection and had to lose a part of his sternum.

They gamble on the chance they can be picked up by the Italians or whomever.

[–]autistitron 27ポイント28ポイント  (2子コメント)

They also literally capsize their own boats intentionally to force European boats to "rescue" them, at which point they have to be brought to the European side.

And apparently sometimes they don't all get picked up, making the survivors complicit in murder.

We can't let people hold themselves hostage in exchange for special treatment. That's so fucked up for both sides.

If we had only had a spine and said "go ahead" at the first case of someone saying "let me in your country or I'll kill myself", we'd have saved so many lives while protecting ourselves too.

What kind of precedent have we said? There's no such thing as "just this time".

[–]OpenMindedPuppy [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

What? Evidence? From what I know, it is the Captain and crew who do this, before escaping on a smaller vessel so that they don't get caught.

    It says several things. Most importantly it says that our policy of picking up people from the middle of the sea sets a dangerous precedent that encourages people to trust smugglers and set off from the coast in dingys. We need to be destroying smuggling rings and returning the migrants back to the African coast.

    the Italian and Maltese coast guard are bound by maritime law, UN regulations and the EU to render aid to vessels in distress, regardless of the circumstances that brought them. Turning them back has legal ramifications,especially for the captain of the responding ship.

    If they are in Libyan waters, the Libyan government's navy and coast guard should help them.

    ;)

    [–]shtucazz 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    they are usually off the coast of Sicily(Lampedusa) .Italian coast guard patrols only in national waters.

    [–]sausageparty2015 6ポイント7ポイント  (9子コメント)

    So we should change that situation?

    [–]shtucazz 3ポイント4ポイント  (8子コメント)

    that would require fixing Lybia. Don't think that will happen any time soon. Changing maritime law would mean unintended consequences such as legitimate distress being ignored on the high seas for any reason deemed legitimate by the captain or his/her bosses. Not something desirable if one was the victim of pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden expecting help.

    Australia is bound by similar treaties but has strict enforcement of migrants attempting to enter by boat. I wonder what the difference is.

    [–]shtucazz 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    we haven't heard the final on Australia's approach,but I suspect that commonwealth countries get a free pass. After all,maritime law as we know it is a product of the British Empire. Just my opinion.

    [–]Earnedit441 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    I know Australias approach sounds sane. Europe just dumping hundreds of thousands of random people can not end well. Letting these people in was a decision knowing full well there will be thousands acts of crime of every sort upon their citizens. Following maritime law is treason. mmm

    I would like to think so as well,but the actions of western leaders point to either an inability or an unwillingness to actually find a concrete solution.

    In theory, sure. In practice, not so much.

    too many eyes and a bleeding heart media coupled with a national obsession on human rights don't help either

    Saving people's lives sets a dangerous precedent. If someone speeds on a motorway and crashes their car, we shouldn't give them medical assistance. If someone ODs, we shouldn't give them medical assistance. There are so many dangerous precedents!

    Oh Jesus give over with the heart-string pulling. Are you incapable of thinking in pragmatic terms? Destroy the smuggling rings, stop shipping those in the boats over to Europe. I didn't say we should machine gun them.

    The countries which looted wealth in colonial times should pay up.

    Explain how these ex-colonial powers should pay, where the money should go and how that would help the migrant crisis.

    [–]oiyoi -16ポイント-15ポイント  (33子コメント)

    They should fund development an create jobs there. There must be international law mandating development by these looters from Europe to pay up and provide absolutely free resources to former colonies.

      Terrible thing when able bodied men flee from their mothers and wives, so they don't have to fight for the country they love so much, which they pull out flags for.

      Its how it should be done, I understand women and children fleeing but men should stay and fight.

      You are suppose to fight for your country when its in war not fucking flee like a coward.

      Do you have evidence that this is the case? Are not men always the ones forced to fight and die for the country, or in the cases of these young men, whatever group they may happen to be recruited by? People call the Syrian rebels terrorists, and yet when they flee to avoid dieing they become cowards? Make up your God damn minds!

      Europe is 100% responsible for every single one of those deaths. And I'm not being sarcastic.

      As long as countries in the EU keep doing things to actively attract these people, and them getting rescued anywhere in the Med means they get to go north, this will only get worse.

      It's time to end that and save countless lives in the process.

      The UN has warned 2016 could be the deadliest for migrants making the journey.

      Ms Sami said 29 people had survived one of the shipwrecks but about 120 others were missing, feared dead. In the second, two people were picked up after swimming for safety but another 120 migrants were still missing.

      Italy has seen an increase in the trafficking of migrants from Libya ever since an EU-Turkey agreement to halt migrants travelling to the Greek islands came into force in March.

      It is a tragedy that is happening continuously, every now and then a boat sinks yet nothing is being done to prevent it from happening again. In fact, the EU seems to make things worse by taking half-hearted measures. It is one of the great challenges of our times to find a humane way of dealing with these migrant waves.

      Unfortunately there are a lot of people on r/Worldnews who get pleasure out of 'lesser' peoples dieing while fleeing for safety. It's pretty sickening. I thank God every day of my life that I wasn't born into a third world country. As a 'military aged male' myself, I know that I wouldn't be able to handle the insurmountable stresses that these people have to put up with. It's not just the bad people that want them dead, it's the supposedly good people too!

      This is horrible. Best wishes to all the survivors. I sincerely hope the world becomes a better place one day, so that people don't have to make these treachorous journeys, and that the hatred which is often expressed on this website as much as it is in real life will come to an end too.
